You would do better to keep your silence, anyone except politicians knows that standardized test scores are a scam as far as measuring how an entire school is doing.A far better measurement is how many kids graduate and find jobs or go to college or join the military.Minus those four requiremnets is the amount of kids who fail and the percentage of that can be measured against toher schools in the same region or area to find out which schools are doing their job.

Its funny, people complained that Creel only hires her friends or people she can run over, then the charter system allows people to have more input on the system and 8 people plus the administration gets to interview the candidates. The principle was selected by a committee, not Creel and people still have an issue.
If you want to support local control in education than you will applaude the new process if not, than Im sure in 5yrs the BOE will be more than happy to take over again and make such decisions for you

Final hiring is up to Creel and the BOE. Where did the names of the applicates generate from?
Did not a question appear in these blogs several days ago about the limitations of the BOE with the charter schools?
I know so. The process is in place and housewives, jeez, now have a say so. Those housewives and high school students are the ones actually involved. Why would they not have a say so?

If you know so, then you would know how the 8member panel is comprised. 2-Business Owners, 2-Faculty, 2-Students and 2-parents or housewives if you so want to call them that. The charter states that their recommendation goes to the Sup then then BOE and they can only vote on the Sup's recommendation. Which this time, was the 1st pick by the AHS governence community and Dr. Creel. Im sure if it is not in the best intrest of the system, the BOE would have voted against it, but everyone is trying this new system and I for one would rather any government try something new and fail, than to continually fail at doing nothing

Mr Jud if you are listening you should know by now that you have a deputy that needs help. He is lashing out in angrue and hate. I do not beleive this person should be allowed to patrol our streets with a gun while in this state. He needs help Jud!!

18.5 mills...have the people in this county stopped to think that teacher furloughs might be a direct result of no increases here? Put your money where your mouth is Barrow County. If you want to continue to have quality schools and attract the best teachers, things need to change. Dan Cromer knows what he is talking about. You can go along for a year or so on bare bones budgets, but after a while it takes a toll. You wonder why morale is bad in the school system? Our teachers don't feel valued and appreciated for the hard work they do every day for the students of this county.

Sweetheart, no one feels "valued and appreciated for the hard work they do everyday" so shut up, stop whinning, do your job, and thank God you have one.
